It probably wouldn't have done *that* much. At that point in history, the only thing that would save Germany is a repeat of the Tunguska Event in unoccupied European Russia. Of course if you're talking about a 1930's Purge, it's hard to say, but likely, the end result would be the same. Usually, one man doesn't change the course of history alone. (I usually argue that Hitler and Churchill are complementary exceptions-without Hitler, WWII would have been significantly different, and without Churchill, there's a *possibility* of British capitulation).
